Hi all, I want to add a new database entity to datahub which has a "contains" relationship with dataset ( like dashboard and chart ) and I want a tables tab with tables and some tables' features ( like dataset with schemas ). I'm new to datahub and I need help with adding this new entity to datahub as simple as possible. Is there a good solution to my problem?

Thanks for your response! I want to browse them and add properties to each of them like a dataset or a dashboard and also add some other features just like schema of a dataset. Is this possible with containers?

It is not possible to add a schema to containers. For what you are describing glossary term may be appropriate. You can associate a schema with a term and also associate it with any entity. You can view related entities.

Is it possible to add a new entity to datahub easily? because I want an entity named database and I need something like a dashboard which you can browse them in UI and also have a schema and instead of chart it contains dataset.

@wooden-london-40203 interested to learn more about this - what exactly are you trying to model? We already captured database information as a container entity. Databases can have schémas inside them which can in turn have datasets

We have different types of tables in databases and some other features for each tables and it would be nice if for each database or schema container we could see a tab ( like schema tab in dataset entity ) that you can see tables of each database and their types and other things related to them. now I think it is easier to use container with tags and glossary terms to create this model without making new entity.
